It's been two weeks now that I successfully moved my home little mail/sftp server on OpenBSD. I'm more than happy with it and I would like trying to use it as a desktop, but I have a few problem that I could not solve.

I should mention that I tried xfce4 only because this is what I've been using with linux for years, but I'm more than open to test other solutions should they solve my problems.

I either commented the corresponding "nv" or "vesa" device code blocks, the vesa is slightly better but it's still very slow, and I can't even read a video with vlc (error is no XVideo adapter found, but I can see the first frame of the video...still this might be an unrelated problem but I didn't find anything usefull on the net. I also changed the video output in vlc config to all the available options, without success)
Did I miss something or I can't expect more with this video card?

Michael Lucas' 2nd edition of AO gives much the same info you, J65nko, except that he instructs one to use the mount_ext2fs utility to mount ext3fs. The man page for mount_ext2fs does not state explicitly to use the utility for mounting ext3fs -- if I missed it, forgive me -- but rather leaves the subject of ext3fs undisclosed, for further research. btw, ro = readonly

Works relatively well, not the fastest acceleration (far from it), but better than software rendering. Just don't xrandr a monitor sideways...that seems to make it painfully slow and borderline unstable.
